GOING OVER THE BOOKS.
Deputy Postmaster Anderson's Ac-
counts Being Investigated.

OF late GOODNESS has arisen between
Postmaster Lamar ana MS assistant, Col.
Clifford W. Anderson. The books OF the
Office have been found TO be in a tangle, and
it was thought that there was a shortage.
Postoffice Inspector Williamson was here on
business, and he was instructed by the Post
master General to 60 over the accounts
and find out whether there is any deficit.
The tangled accounts were the cause OF
the breach between Capt. Lamar and Col.
Anderson. Capt. Lamar said that Col An
derson had charge Of the accounts, and II
there was anything wrong IT was MS Iault
Col. Anderson said that Capt. Lamar was to
blame, and thus the two fell out. There was
quite stormy scene between them few
days ago, and they have been distant ever
since. Col Anderson had the key to the vault,
and he was asked to give it up but be re-
fused to do 50. He said there had been
raScality in the office and he would not sur
render the key until the Inspector had gone
over the accounts He was advised by his
friends to give it up but he said he would
not do it. The Inspectors could send him
to Jail If they wished 10 make an example
of him but he would not give up the keys.
Neither Capt Lamar, Col. Anderson nor
Capt. Williamson will have much TO say
about the affair but Col Anderson said
last night that he had made proposition
that if after the examination has been com
pleted the accounts are found to be one
cent short then the presidents of five banks,
including Messls. Hammond and Flannery,
should sit and hear the case and decide
whether he or Capt. Lamar is morally and
legally responsible. He says it is not
question of $500 or 800, but of character
and he means to have the thing sifted.
1t is not known whether there is any
shortage at all: in fact, what has been found
already points to the contrary. The &C
counts showed bank balance of S203, but
when the bank was called upon for state
ment, it showed credit to the post Office of
$40 81. The Inspector is busy with the
accounts, but last night he had not footed
up the debts and had not begun on the
credits, so he cannot make statement.

withdraw it."
Mai. IAtford then offered the following
resolution;
ResOired. That the factors Of Savannah and
Brunswick are requested and invited To aid the
operators in reducing the cut during the coming
year.
FACTORS EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS.
The factors, each in turn. were asked their
views concerning the resolution and the
necessities of the occasion. They unani-
mously declared that there was no money
in naval stores, and there would not be
until the crop is reduced, but they could
suggest no means of reducing the crop
They thought that the difficulties would ad-
just themselves, as in all other lines Of bust
ness: that low prices would cut down the
output and the reduced crop would then
advance prices. They all said that they
could not pledge themselves not to lend
money to men because they could not foresee
what cases would arise. and they could not
pledge away their freedom Of action in indi-
vidual cases.
After hearing them the resolution was
adopted, and Mr. Young said that he would
see that meeting of all the factors is
called to discus the matter and see what
action can be taken.
NOT INCLINED TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT
BY this time the meeting had dwindled
down to almost nothing. The operators
had seen that the factors were not disposed
to join them, at least some of them, and
some, too, did all they could to turn the
meeting into II commercial comedy, and
they succeeded in part. But few of them
seemed TO take the matter seriously Presi-
dent johnson made arrangements with
Mai. Letford to remain over tomorrow and
draw up bylaws, and upon motion Of Mr..
Hobert, the meeting adjourned.
